My son’s Birthday is on 12 Jun. He’s turning 19yrs old. First thing he said, “Dad let’s do the Cowboy Kent Rollins style chicken fried steak”. Thank you Master Chef!
My daughter and my granddaughter are also born on June 12. What a special day for all of us. Praise God and thank you for the best Chicken Fried Steak recipe west of the Mississippi...
Late mother in law from West Virginia she taught this Boston girl cooking her way in 1968!!! Buttermilk fried chicken, country fried steak, pepper gravy, green beans with bacon, a ham hock, onions .miss her!
Darlene Greywolf: I'm from North Carolina. My grandmother cooked like your mother in law but I was too young to learn cooking from her. Would you mind sharing your mother in law's recipes with me? My email address is baronwulf@gmail.com.
How could I miss this channel back then when I was studying in the USA! Good recipes with clear and easy steps! Now I can make cowboy style meal in Taiwan! Thanks Kent!
he doesn't know what he's doing. Someone just scripted this up for him. For instance look at how he's using the same hand for wet and dry while breading the steak. No professional does that because it cocoons your hand in breading. There are lots of good cooks on TH-cam but this clownboy isn't one of them.
I made this for my wife and daughter who just got here from the Philippines ten days ago. We were separated from each other for 33 months due to covid. I made a pepper cream gravy with a side of french fries. Thank you so much for the cooking lessons.
it wasnt due to covid, it was due to either regulations or due to you guys being scared, but im tired of people blaming covid for everything instead of taking accountability.
That's a bullshit story. There's any number of ways you could have met up. And I like chicken fried steak but is hardly a welcome-back kind of meal, yikes.
Thank you Sir! I made your chicken fried steak and gravy last night and my guests were blown away! Delicious. Not a morsel of food nor a drop of gravy remained on any plate. You, my good man, are a National Treasure!
1) he doesn't know what he's doing. Someone just scripted this up for him. For instance look at how he's using the same hand for wet and dry while breading the steak. No professional does that because it cocoons your hand in breading. 2) he WAS on TV. 3) He was cancelled because he sucks. 4) He's pretending to be a cowboy but this is shot in a suburban backyard. He's probably a retired dog food commercial actor or something who can't remember his lines any more and doesn't have any actual skill. 5) He's simply plugging sponsorship-deal spice mixes here, he doesn't give a crap about his viewers. 6) You look like a brown-noser and an idiot.
I had a couple of small rib eyes in the freezer. Trimmed them good and pounded them out to about 3/8" thick. Using this recipe, served with mashed potatoes and your white gravy made an impressive dinner. I've never gotten crust to stick very well, but this method sure works! I cheat and use a Lodge enamel cast iron dutch oven. Heats like cast iron but cleans up like Teflon, great for us lazy folks. Keep these recipes coming. Good bless to you, Shannon and the dogs.
I made these tonight for my family and they loved it! I'm a JR's living in RD. I never thought I'd cook such a Southern meal. I also made the gravy and sourdough biscuits. My thanks. 💓 I really appreciate all that you and Shannon do. I bought your cookbook and am working my way through it! High reviews for that. I can't wait until the next one comes out. We love the Beagle! We had Toby who passed from old age and now, Daisy who is a lemon Beatle we rescued. Much love to you guys! 💓
I'm from Tishomingo, Oklahoma. I just graduated from the University of Oklahoma and am living abroad as an English teacher in Spain. These videos make me miss my cast iron back home--but, more importantly, my momma and grandma. I'm enjoying my time abroad, but believe you me, I'll be ready to move back and settle down in "God's Country." America's the best country on earth. Thanks for the vids and God bless.
Love! I was born & raised (19 yrs) in Fort Worth TX, recently moved to North Carolina due to the military and watching your videos reminds me so much of home!! Thank you 😊
The You Tube gift t hta keeps on giving. I made this. And as "Chef John" says, "fork don't lie." Crispy and crunchy even with gravy!! Out standing. Soda and starch are the trick!
Chicken fried steak has been my favorite since I was a child. It's always my go to when we went to a restaurant. Now I can make it perfectly & will find something else to order when I go out. Kent for the win!!
Don't do it like he's doing it. He doesn't know what he's doing. For instance look at how he's using the same hand for wet and dry while breading the steak. No professional does that because it cocoons your hand in breading.
@@lqr824 Sorry, little girl, your random, insulting reply to my comment only makes me laugh. Since you're having a 2yr old tantrum over a lil breading on his hands, it shows me that you're a jealous individual. How about since YOU know the perfect way to make chicken fried steak, you just go away like a compliant toddler.
@@rowdy7480 sorry, if you're getting sexually aroused by watching a suburban cowboy make a mess of himself in his backyard, don't let me interrupt your orgasms. Sorry to have bothered you with actual facts.
It's just a schtick. He's just a dog food commercial actor. He doesn't know what he's doing. For instance look at how he's using the same hand for wet and dry while breading the steak. No professional does that because it cocoons your hand in breading.
Well Kent, I tried it and the wife said it was the best CFS she had ever had. It sure was crispy. Thanks for the recipe and video. Your cookbook got us through the pandemic a few years back. Love yall. God Bless
This is delicious brother! I mostly eat only paleo, but i make exception for your recipes. I've tried your three meat hash which is AWESOME, and now i only make Cowboy coffee whether I'm in the kitchen or sitting by the campfire. God bless you brother!
Never made anything with cubed steak, and recently came into possession of some fine local cubed steak. Did a little search on how to prepare it properly and found this. You have my Texan wife excited for when I utilize your recipe, and you have my sincere thanks.
Dang Cowboy! I dont know how I missed this one! My ole lady loves chicken fried steak and now she's gonna love me some more, after I cook her up some with this recipe! Much appreciated!
Bobby Flay isn't uppity or pretentious, he knows people can whoop him, usually when doing their specialty meals and he acts very humble when he's beat.
Saxon yes I like Bobby Flay. He gives people a run for their money and when he loses he is a gentleman about it. Plus the fact chicken fried steak is more of a southern thing. I doubt that Flay has cooked many of them.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq Agreed, but give Bobby Flay a week to experiment with CFS recipes and there's a good chance he could kick the ass of just about any old southern chef. I think his taste buds have an I.Q. of 264.
Saxon I think Flay had a week to experiment. That being said I would like either one of their steaks. And also take the competition out of Texas and the results may have been different. One is a stick to your ribs cowboy cook and the other is a high end chef. One tried to kick it up a notch and the other kept it simple. Texas people have their own idea what a chicken fried steak should taste like. Flay is capable of beating anyone at their own game at a given time.
@@JohnDavis-yz9nq I lived in Austin, Tx. for 17 years and I feel blessed for it, I learned that southern, pan fried recipe and how to make the best CFS years ago and there is no substitute for it. Any extra herb or tweak of any kind to out do a good southern recipe may earn you a win in a contest but any good chef, including Bobby Flay, knows it's just a feeble attempt to make the best better. It's like how you don't improve on a 1911 Colt .45, a 427 AC Cobra or a KA-BAR. You just leave them alone and resign yourself to the fact that everything to make them the best has already been done. Have a good one!
I used your recipe for CFS for our Sunday dinner yesterday. I used the recipe in your cookbook. It was tasty. My husband mumbled a lot over his supper plate and I've not figured out what exactly "mmmmm. mmm mmm mmm. MMMmm" means but I think he was trying to say nice things. I will definitely make this again in the future with one small adjustment. I'm going to reduce the lemon pepper by at least half. I enjoy lemon in sweet treats but not so much in savory dishes. That is just my personal taste and, as chief cook and bottle washer, it is my perogative to fiddle with recipes. My husband was in heaven either way.
“The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been chicken fried steak. It reminds us of all that once was good and that could be again.” -James Earl Jones, Field of Dreams
He may have originally been talking about _baseball_, but in my own life, it’s chicken fried steak. Made this the other day, Kent. Off to a good start, but I’ll need to keep running more tests. And more. And more.
Yes sir. Nothing like watch a little pause it, do what you did, repeat. Kent, thank you easy step be step video. You are my cooking Hero!! Thanks so much my friend.
can do both in cast iron skillet (if the cast iron skillet is deep enough, i have one about 4 inch deep) .... but also this too: Chicken Fried = white gravy Country Fried = brown gravy got this advice from some family members in Texas (from the Dallas/Ft Worth area, also Lubbock/Laredo and Midland/Odessa)
Thank you for your videos, I know many take joy in them but they truly are so amazing. I originally found you trying to learn how to fix a cast iron I ruined, my doctor told me to only use cast iron due to health problems. I didn’t have anyone to teach me how to cook, or what to cook with let alone caring for cast iron. Everything I learned was trial and error, thus how I nearly ruined a cast iron ha ha. Your recipes are amazing, your wisdom is priceless, and your heart makes me happy!!! Thank you for making me the kind of mum that can pass this info down to my Kids and grandkids! Your my hero!!!!
If you don't have a wire rack handy to drain it after frying, like on a camping trip, crinkled-up aluminum foil on a paper plate works great. It still allows the oil to drain off but allows air to circulate under the meat so it doesn't get soggy. Works good for fried fish too. Worst thing you can do it put it on a paper towel, it'll get soggy on the bottom. I've made this recipe quite a few times now and it turns out so good, it's everything you want a CFS to be but can rarely get in a restaurant.
I love how he keeps to traditional cooking methods that keep Americans feed and hearty!!!!! It's all about portion control and tradition!!!! God Bless Everyone and Long Live Our Constitutional Republic!
I grew up eating something similar to this but my Momma pan fried it and then put it in brown gravy. In Eastern NC we called it country style steak and gravy. I will definitely try this way.
I've only recently discovered this channel but have been watching Beat Bobby Flay for a long time. I know Cowboy Kent is a hell of cook but knowing he beat Bobby Flay when many other people who called themselves culinary experts failed just proves Kent is the man
OHYMYGOODNESS Cowboy Kent! I have been making mashed potatoes and gravy since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, but in all my years of home cooking, I have never, ever gotten a batter right, even for chicken fried! Tonight, on Valentine's Day 2019, we found your video. We made the batter, We double-dunked just like you said. My husband, who used to work at his momma's restaurant as a teen -- he had never ever cooked chicken-fried steak before (At a country breakfast restaurant -- isn't that crazy?!) We let them steaks sit just like you said to do, and then he fried them right up. I have never, ever had home battered and fried at home work out before or taste any good -- these chicken-fried steaks came out JUST PERFECT. So I hope y'all had a Happy Valentine's day out there in youtube-land. We had the best homemade chicken-fried EVER and it was GOOD.
This recipe is legit. Made this tonight (just different seasonings) and it's the best chicken fried steak I have eaten. The crust actually stays crispy.
Kent. Thank you for sharing. I'm a hobby cook but I've learned so much from watching your videos. I've made a bunch of your recipes for my hunting / fishing buddies and everyone raves about the meals. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and wit. You make cooking fun!
I went and watched your gravy video. looked great. my wife said sometimes her grandma's gravy came out thin and her grandpa would be soppin it up with his biscuit saying he had to corral it.
My grandmother bless her should couldn't make gravy unless it had lumps and grandpas would tell her we going to need that meat tenderizing hammer to get this choked down
I just made this today for Sunday supper and the family loved it. My wife especially loved the breading. This is a keeper and I'm going to continue making my chicken fried steak this way from now on
Kent. Just finished one of the best, if not the best, Chicken Fried Steaks following your recipe to a "T." My son and I both love CFS but like you said the majority of time you get a bad piece of meat with tendons or whatever going through it. Bought my steak at a local Kroger yesterday and cooked up 4 - two to keep for another day. My son also thanks you...because he ate it like it was his last supper. Thanks again and my wife and I enjoy your sense of humor and your sign off message.
Been watching this channel for a decade and had to come back to this very episode on a hunch. Brought the family back to SE Kansas recently and was told of a place near by that had the best food and when I heard where, I had my doubts; "The old gas station?" Best chicken fried steak I've had in my life! (and really great mountain oysters BTW) Then it hit me: "I wonder if that was Kent's recipe? I better go watch in order to try and actually make it myself". Sure enough, and this was even better
Congratulations on your win! We sure are enjoying your videos and recipes. Thank you Kent and Shannon for sharing with us. What thermometer do you use for checking your oil temperature?
Kent the ABSOLUTE BEST recipe for Chicken Fried Steak EVER!!! I fixed it about a month ago and was OMG. Better than any I've ever eatin' even here in Tejas!!! HOOAH, OORAH and OOYAH!!!
Saving g chicken grease and trimming gs from fried chicken is a super add to the deep fry mix.. The crust has a bit of the chicken taste...my favorite is doing this with elk or venison... Thanks for all your videos!
Made it last night, and this is an awesome recipe! I laughed when he said it was healthier to deep fry.😂. This is pure comfort food at its best. Gotta have mashed taters and cream gravy with it. Of course I also served it with mixed vegetables to make it healthy!!
I'm thinking some big butter beans or even bacon-flavored cabbage would beat mixed vegetables. I like some tasty veggies, and with gravified mashed potatoes, why not go all in? You're gonna die at some point in your life, do you want to think about the dinner that could have been, at that moment?
Thank you, Mr. Rollins. I wish your videos had been around in 2005-2010. I'd have packed a cast-iron skillet, flour, and Red River Ranch seasoning in my duffel bags for Iraq and Afghanistan! You're my kitchen hero! Be safe and take care. Best wishes to you and Shannon.
I had a Chicken Fried Steak where the guy used bacon and ground sausage in the gravy and added some onions. Was one of the best CFS I've ever had and I've eaten them all over Texas. I even cooked them for a short time at the Gage Hotel's Cafe Cenizo back in the Mid-90s. A good CFS needs either a large Baked Potato or some Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes to go with it. Green beans is also a require side...
I love your videos, Kent, and I would just like to add that deep fry is actually healthier than shallow fry, because the steam from the item pushes the oil or grease away, and a short lay on kitchen paper absorbs the rest. As for the cooking medium, beef dripping or lard gives the tastiest result, especially with good old British fish and chips!
When I left the military, I sank into a really bad depression. I felt like I didnt have a purpose anymore and I didnt know what to do with myself. One night, I was watching the TH-cam and checking out different camping gear. Like many, I went down the TH-cam rabbit hole and found this video. It looked simple enough so i tried it out. 1st batch didnt come out well and I burned the oil. 4th batch came out great and now Im trying out the different recipes. I even bought the seasoning. Im not great at cooking, but it keeps me going and it gives my wife a break.
I just made this as a Sunday breakfast for my sons... they loved it. I am at "World's Most Favored Mom" status right now. I made gravy on the side and wasn't paying attention to the beef bullion jar, I accidently put in chili paste into the gravy... HAHA... they didn't care, ate it anyway. It would have been great on a wet burrito!
Good day Cowboy Kent,I had my first Chicken Fried steak couple years back at T/A truck stop in Sawyer,Mi. Wow! Your recipe looks like I wish I was there when you were cooking. Keep up the good work. God Bless you
Kent, your recipes are awesome. Keeping it real without all the hipsters infusion fancy BS stuff. I watched the throw down with Bobby Flay. Glad you spanked him.
In high school, I worked at Wyatt's Cafeteria in Fort Worth, TX in the 80s. My buddy "Cheetah" was the CFS cook. Wyatt's used veal cutlets, and "Cheetah" would dip the veal in milk wash, flour, and saltine cracker crumbs and to the hot fryer they went.
Sir I been looking for a chicken fried steak recipe to feed my family for the longest and just a couple two three days ago my buddy from Texas come into town (I'm over hear in Florida) tells me to stop bragging bout good I can cook. Well shit I'm about sure my reputation is in good hands with this un. Thank you brother and God bless.

Thanks for sharing,

Yes sir. Nothing like watch a little pause it, do what you did, repeat. Kent, thank you easy step be step video. You are my cooking Hero!! Thanks so much my friend.
Chicken Fried = deep fried
Country Fried = shallow fried usually in a cast iron skillet.
Good info!
can do both in cast iron skillet (if the cast iron skillet is deep enough, i have one about 4 inch deep)
.... but also this too:
Chicken Fried = white gravy
Country Fried = brown gravy
got this advice from some family members in Texas (from the Dallas/Ft Worth area, also Lubbock/Laredo and Midland/Odessa)
Chicken fried = white sauce
Country fried = brown gravy
chicken fried... battered in flour and chicken (egg)
I’ll make a chicken fry how ever I dam well please. Jesus!
The best recipe and techniques ever!!!
Thanks Carol

There's also a device named "Fast Cutlet Maker V2" that pounds the flesh and create a nice squared pattern on it. It is popular in Poland.
I've only recently discovered this channel but have been watching Beat Bobby Flay for a long time. I know Cowboy Kent is a hell of cook but knowing he beat Bobby Flay when many other people who called themselves culinary experts failed just proves Kent is the man
Thanks so much for watching
Now I'm hungry. Forget the chain restaurants. Stay at the comfort of your own home and cook this! Excellent job Cowboy Kent.
That, right there, might be the best looking breaded crust I’ve ever seen on cow or chicken. Some good gravy and you got yourself something.
Thanks Paul I do love a crunch
I had to do a quick re-watch of this one on New Years eve. I'm making it for my Mother tonight.
Hope you enjoy
OHYMYGOODNESS Cowboy Kent! I have been making mashed potatoes and gravy since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, but in all my years of home cooking, I have never, ever gotten a batter right, even for chicken fried!
Tonight, on Valentine's Day 2019, we found your video. We made the batter, We double-dunked just like you said. My husband, who used to work at his momma's restaurant as a teen -- he had never ever cooked chicken-fried steak before (At a country breakfast restaurant -- isn't that crazy?!) We let them steaks sit just like you said to do, and then he fried them right up. I have never, ever had home battered and fried at home work out before or taste any good -- these chicken-fried steaks came out JUST PERFECT.
So I hope y'all had a Happy Valentine's day out there in youtube-land. We had the best homemade chicken-fried EVER and it was GOOD.
So glad you both enjoyed and hope you had a Great Valentines Day
My grandma taught me how to make this when i was about 10 years old! She told me her mom used to make it, and your recipe is just about the same.
This recipe is legit. Made this tonight (just different seasonings) and it's the best chicken fried steak I have eaten. The crust actually stays crispy.
great to hear glad y'all enjoyed
Kent ,
Your making my list grow of cast iron that I want. Thanks for taking the time to Educate us. Blessings from Gettysburg pa
Thanks and God bless you as well
Kent is the real deal. A true gentleman.
I have never wanted chicken fried steak until now! Might be my next cook. Love your channel!
LayneXIII You're in for a treat, with white gravy it shames a lot of dishes. Good luck
Thanks so much
It's good STUFF!!! Don't forget the mashed taters,gravy,biscuits!!!
...get it at ...'''DENNY's...!?...
@@PedalToTheMetal61888 Denny's doesn't even come close! Home cooking is where it's at!
Kent. Thank you for sharing. I'm a hobby cook but I've learned so much from watching your videos. I've made a bunch of your recipes for my hunting / fishing buddies and everyone raves about the meals. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and wit. You make cooking fun!
Thanks Bob for watching and glad y'all enjoyed
It's about time for Throwdown with Kent Rollins isn't it? I'd watch it every day to see those big city chefs pick up a pointer or two.
pass the Gravy and God Bless the FOOD. You Rock Kent. Keep Cooking!! Thank You.. 👍
I went and watched your gravy video. looked great. my wife said sometimes her grandma's gravy came out thin and her grandpa would be soppin it up with his biscuit saying he had to corral it.
My grandmother bless her should couldn't make gravy unless it had lumps and grandpas would tell her we going to need that meat tenderizing hammer to get this choked down
I just made this today for Sunday supper and the family loved it. My wife especially loved the breading. This is a keeper and I'm going to continue making my chicken fried steak this way from now on
Looks delicious love your since of humor
Thanks so much
Kent. Just finished one of the best, if not the best, Chicken Fried Steaks following your recipe to a "T." My son and I both love CFS but like you said the majority of time you get a bad piece of meat with tendons or whatever going through it. Bought my steak at a local Kroger yesterday and cooked up 4 - two to keep for another day. My son also thanks you...because he ate it like it was his last supper.
Thanks again and my wife and I enjoy your sense of humor and your sign off message.
Thanks Chip for yall watching and God bless yall
CBKR for president. 2020+...
Make America Taste Again!!
Nope. Politics will ruin a good man like kent.
@What a Maneuver! Chump is from Manhattan, eats steak well done and eats pizza with a fork
Been watching this channel for a decade and had to come back to this very episode on a hunch. Brought the family back to SE Kansas recently and was told of a place near by that had the best food and when I heard where, I had my doubts; "The old gas station?" Best chicken fried steak I've had in my life! (and really great mountain oysters BTW)
Then it hit me: "I wonder if that was Kent's recipe? I better go watch in order to try and actually make it myself". Sure enough, and this was even better
Congratulations on your win! We sure are enjoying your videos and recipes. Thank you Kent and Shannon for sharing with us. What thermometer do you use for checking your oil temperature?
Comes from Amazon
That looks amazing! And Mr. Rollins just seems like an authentic Good Guy.
Thank you for watching
With all this delicious foods he prepares is hard starting a diet 😋😋😋😋😋
Kent the ABSOLUTE BEST recipe for Chicken Fried Steak EVER!!! I fixed it about a month ago and was OMG. Better than any I've ever eatin' even here in Tejas!!! HOOAH, OORAH and OOYAH!!!
Fine dining it is
Oh I love chicken fried steak. Thank yall so much for sharing with us. God Bless
God Bless you as well
Saving g chicken grease and trimming gs from fried chicken is a super add to the deep fry mix..
The crust has a bit of the chicken taste...my favorite is doing this with elk or venison...
Thanks for all your videos!
Made it last night, and this is an awesome recipe! I laughed when he said it was healthier to deep fry.😂. This is pure comfort food at its best. Gotta have mashed taters and cream gravy with it. Of course I also served it with mixed vegetables to make it healthy!!
I'm thinking some big butter beans or even bacon-flavored cabbage would beat mixed vegetables. I like some tasty veggies, and with gravified mashed potatoes, why not go all in? You're gonna die at some point in your life, do you want to think about the dinner that could have been, at that moment?
That was incredible! Followed every step. I think an angel danced on my lips!
Loved your video and the steak looked delicious and crunchy.
Thanks MaryAnne
Kent when you beat Bobby Flake lol 😆. You made a believer out of me. You beat him with good old Country Goodness. Amen.
I followed this recipe tonight and made it for my girlfriend... and man we were impressed thanks Kent! Definitely gonna make it again!
Glad you enjoyed and Thank you for watching
Thank you, Mr. Rollins. I wish your videos had been around in 2005-2010. I'd have packed a cast-iron skillet, flour, and Red River Ranch seasoning in my duffel bags for Iraq and Afghanistan! You're my kitchen hero! Be safe and take care. Best wishes to you and Shannon.
Thanks so much my friend and be safe and God Bless you for what you do for the rest of us
Now I'm thinkin chicken fried fish would make some awesome fish n chips ;o)
I had a Chicken Fried Steak where the guy used bacon and ground sausage in the gravy and added some onions. Was one of the best CFS I've ever had and I've eaten them all over Texas. I even cooked them for a short time at the Gage Hotel's Cafe Cenizo back in the Mid-90s. A good CFS needs either a large Baked Potato or some Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes to go with it. Green beans is also a require side...
Your accent makes me so happy:)
Thanks dint know I had one
Bless you sir for your kindness in sharing this recipe and tips.
Blessings to you. Thank you for watching.
I need this in my life! Indeed!
I love your videos, Kent, and I would just like to add that deep fry is actually healthier than shallow fry, because the steam from the item pushes the oil or grease away, and a short lay on kitchen paper absorbs the rest. As for the cooking medium, beef dripping or lard gives the tastiest result, especially with good old British fish and chips!
Thanks John for watching
Holy Smokes!! Made this tonight for dinner w/ mash potatoes and gravy. It is out of this world. Thank you so mush for sharing. God Bless you both!
So glad y'all enjoyed Allen
Mmmm.... sure don't get much better than that Kent.
IntenseAngler
His delivery and presentation is the best! And I love how 90% of his food is in cast iron. I’m getting away from other cookware...
LayneXIII Couldn't agree more brother!
Thanks so much for watching
Thanks so much good iron is the only thing to cook with
@@CowboyKentRollins Kent, how the hell do you stay so skinny being around all that awesome food ? You must have great discipline. Haha.
When I left the military, I sank into a really bad depression. I felt like I didnt have a purpose anymore and I didnt know what to do with myself. One night, I was watching the TH-cam and checking out different camping gear. Like many, I went down the TH-cam rabbit hole and found this video. It looked simple enough so i tried it out. 1st batch didnt come out well and I burned the oil. 4th batch came out great and now Im trying out the different recipes. I even bought the seasoning. Im not great at cooking, but it keeps me going and it gives my wife a break.
Stay strong my friend, and thank you for your service
Thx for your service I am a military daughter myself
thank you for this video glad to hear you beat bobby flay he needs a good whip a** by a great cook again thanks for the awesome video
Thanks James for watching
I just made this as a Sunday breakfast for my sons... they loved it. I am at "World's Most Favored Mom" status right now. I made gravy on the side and wasn't paying attention to the beef bullion jar, I accidently put in chili paste into the gravy... HAHA... they didn't care, ate it anyway. It would have been great on a wet burrito!
Macerator is what we called the tenderizer machine when I worked at a meat packing plant.
Makes sense. Macerate literally means, to chew.
Good day Cowboy Kent,I had my first Chicken Fried steak couple years back at T/A truck stop in Sawyer,Mi. Wow! Your recipe looks like I wish I was there when you were cooking. Keep up the good work. God Bless you
Kent, your recipes are awesome. Keeping it real without all the hipsters infusion fancy BS stuff. I watched the throw down with Bobby Flay. Glad you spanked him.
Thanks so much
I made this tonight and used his seasonings and it is definitely the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had!
Thanks John it is fine dinning at its best
" double baptize" lol
Just beautiful cooking terms lol
In high school, I worked at Wyatt's Cafeteria in Fort Worth, TX in the 80s. My buddy "Cheetah" was the CFS cook. Wyatt's used veal cutlets, and "Cheetah" would dip the veal in milk wash, flour, and saltine cracker crumbs and to the hot fryer they went.
This looks delicious!
Thanks Tina
Just watching you fry makes me happy. Thanks, Cowboy!
Thanks for watching
"The Lord is my shepherd, he know what I want!" Thank ya kindly for this!
Thanks so much for watching
No doubt in my mind that you can beat Bobby flay at real cooking. Don't need "fancy" I need good. Thank you sir and god bless.
My tongue slapped the back of my head.
I can't eat now.
I am in a coma.

R.I.P
Gone forever
That was funny as hell
we commemorate this humble person’s death today as it is their anniversary😔 R.I.P.
Jesus I hope you don’t wake up this year. Stay. The hell. Asleep.
Best comment.
Kent is the real deal. I don't think there is a whole lotta people that can come close to his style of cooking
Thanks so much we appreciate you taking time to watch
Double baptized haha
